Former US President Barack Obama commented in an interview on Puerto Rican artist Bad Bunny's halftime show at the Super Bowl, sparking an international debate about the artist, his talent, and the significance of his performance. «It resonated,» said Obama. «Nobody understands a single word this guy says, and the dancing is repugnant,» critics denounced. In the US Congress, enraged Republicans are calling for Bad Bunny to be imprisoned, arguing that his Super Bowl performance allegedly included inappropriate language and unspeakable depravations. «There was an older woman serving a drink and kids dancing with their grandmothers, and it was intergenerational, and it was a reminder of what Dr. [Martin Luther] King called the 'beloved community,' […] which is not perfect and is sometimes chaotic,» Obama added. At the same time, the former president admitted that «probably not all of those lyrics were politically correct,» but «there was a feeling that there is room for everyone here.» «He was demonstrating and showcasing: this is what a community is. «And there, I think, is where we won,» he concluded. His remarks came after the artist made history by becoming the first performer to deliver a full Spanish-language Super Bowl halftime show. Trump called the 'show' 'absolutely terrible' in a Truth Social post, criticizing both the music and the dancing, and questioning whether the performance represented the country's values, in his view. «It was smart,» Obama said.
